New imaging technology has captured a 3D image of a Japanese submarine that was deliberately sunk off the coast of Hawaii at the end of World War II.
The K2 High-Resolution Mapping System along with the Norbit multibeam echosounder was deployed to capture a clear image of the I-201 sub that “intentionally scuttled” on May 23, 1946.
The Ocean Exploration Trust visited the wreck site south of Oahu on November 3 with the person who developed the high-resolution acoustic mapping system telling the Miami Herald that the I-201 was broken into two pieces.
